WEC line crews have noticed instances in which people who are not WEC employees or contractors have cut trees off power lines during an outage, including at least one case where the line was still live. Please do not approach down utility lines or attempt to cut or remove a tree that is on a line, as they can both be energized during an outage, even, in certain circumstances, when they are on the ground. Doing so is very dangerous and places not only the person approaching the lines at risk but potentially others as well.
Do not touch fallen power wires!
To report an outage, please call 1-802-223-5245 or 1-800-932-5245. It is important that you report outages, as that can be our first indication of an outage in your area.

SCAM ALERT: Washington Electric Cooperative (WEC) has received reports of scammers calling members, pretending to be from WEC, and demanding account payments. In at least one case, the caller even knew the member's home address.
While WEC does occasionally call members regarding account balances, we want you to stay safe. If you receive a suspicious call, do not give out any information. Hang up immediately and call WEC directly at (802) 223-5245 or (800) 932-5245 to verify your account status.
